A Friend of Mine

The Grain Edit blog claimed that this work is made of marbles, but this invitation to a 40-year-old man’s birthday celebration is really made of sprinkles! (You can clearly read that on the A Friend of Mine site – they used hundreds and thousands, to be precise.)

Strange Rain

 

It would probably take actual polar bears falling from the sky to get most idiots to believe that climate change is a pressing issue the world over. Even then, some right-wing nutcase would likely concoct an asinine alternative reason for the strange rain.

Good on ya PlaneStupid.

Though far from practical, these pieces command attention and could easily make any outfit. I think Isabella Blow could have easily rocked these. By Joshua DeMonte.

Many more bracelets and even necklaces can be seen on this site.

Cord Decor

Minimalistic and like a 3D line drawing – what’s not to love?! Anybody could put their own spin on this great idea.

Coca-Cola Cares?

The classic addictive sugary concoction known as Coca-Cola, and the rip-off water that the same mega corporation hawks, will soon be sold in America in 30% plant-based bottles. Similar versions have been on the market in Denmark already. In the future, the company hopes to create 100% plant-based bottles. The diagram below breaks down the content of the 30% version. But I have to wonder, what is preventing them from making that 100% version now? COME ON!

Team Roisin Murphy

There should be no question regarding Roisin Murphy’s superiority over the flash-in-the-pan known as Lady Gaga.

Gaga, hardly a woman never mind a lady, is boring in how desperately she clings to shock factor with gore and sex. Roisin Murphy actually has vocal abilities, and style that has garnered her praise for years, even during her time with Moloko.

Murphy, in the ensemble she wore to sing for a Viktor and Rolf fashion show.

Gaga likes to add depth to her ‘persona’ by adopting a fake accent and carrying around a teacup. Murphy is truly Irish, with a lovely accent, and doesn’t need to rely on props to be interesting.

I could go on and on, but rather than read any more of my words, do yourself a favor and listen to Roisin Murphy’s work.  She’ll have a new album out soon, and she’s just given us a taste with the single ‘Orally Fixated.’ It’s not quite what you think. She’s pregnant and it’s more about her tendencies carrying a child.

and for good measure:

Le-Tan’s Book Bags

When I first came across these gems on We Love You So, I didn’t even realize that they are clutches! The fine detailing on these pieces could warrant permanent shelf display rather than employment as a carryall.
